Raising Awareness

[soforene]

Fuck off.

We're riding from Lands End to John o'Groats to raise awareness of testicular cancer.
Sorry Love. I've already heard of it so you'll get fuck all from me.

Would you like to sponsor me to pogo down Mount Everest to raise awareness of Black Disabled Neo-Natal Sickle Cell anaemia?
Not a fucking chance. I've already heard about it on BCF !!

if you want to scrounge some money from me then you need something better than "Raising Awareness" cus that's just plain fucking lazy !!

[Rogerborg]

Well, I quite agree, but what's set you off?

'tis Saturday evening and The Real Ale is within me !!
I usually wake up on Sunday and check my email to find I have ordered all sorts of shite off eBay.
But tonight (Matthew) I have decided to grace BCF with my mental detritus.
Will it be grateful?
It rarely is.

But that's the beauty of this shithole.

Breast cancer kills more men.

We are aware, save fuel as there is no need to ride.

I always feel sad when I don't get the side nod from other riders when I've just side nodded them myself. I think it's L plate snobbery the wankers.

L plated or not, I'm part of the fraternity, man!

For the last 3 years, I've worked in two different professions where giving a wave to fellow professionals is a compulsory part of the day while on the road (neither of which is a bus driver) and the only other time I've been on the road except that is on the bike. Imagine my UTTER joy when I realised we all nod amongst each other too. It's lovely. It also means that when you get off and happen upon another biker you can be pleasant instead of pretend that unknown person doesn't exist.
The nods are important, brothers.


I'm amazed at how American I feel right now.

Not only do I nod to learners, I even move over and let them pass when they filter faster than me. Not often I see the same one twice though?

I've often wondered about the bus drivers' nods. If there's another bus driver there they don't get on with, do they still nod? Go easy on me, I've had time to think whilst on buses.

I exchanged nods earlier today for the first time, if it wasn't for reading about it in places like this I wouldn't know - I might interpret it as 'your headlight isn't on' or suchlike..

My head's been bobbing up and down all day today. Clocked up 80+ miles in the Peak District and happened upon many fellow bikers. Loved it. (Except the raging coldness of the wind though)
